The first Rolls-Royce was exhibited at the Paris Salon
in early December 1904
On December 23rd 1904, a contract between the two companies was signed, including a clause stipulating that all the cars should be called "Rolls-Royce"

this name adorned the bulkhead

The Spirit of Ecstasy is the name of the hood ornament
on Rolls-Royce cars
The very first Rolls-Royce motorcars did not feature radiator mascots; they simply carried the Rolls-Royce emblem
Charles Robinson Sykes (1875 - 1950) was an English sculptor, better known for designing the Spirit of Ecstasy, mascot which is used on Rolls-Royce cars
Charles Sykes presented the mascot to the company in February 1911.
It was The Spirit of Ecstasy, also called "Emily", "Silver Lady" or "Flying Lady"
This marvellous mascot was modelled after a woman who had bewitching beauty, intellect and esprit
The ‘Spirit of Ecstasy‘, the most famous automobile hood ornament in the world, is a hundred years old. And the winged lady hasn’t aged at all.
